We look at the division of 260171 by 84 
Let's see how many times 84 fits into 260171.

On to step 1:
84 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 84

On to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
84 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 84

Step 4:
The number 84 fits into 81 0 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 81 and we're left with 81.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 81 and continue: 817 / 84

Step 5:
84 goes into 817 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 309.0
Deduct 756 from 817 and we're left with 61.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 611 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 611 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3097.0
Deduct 588 from 611 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3097.2
Deduct 168 from 230 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
84 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3097.27
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 588 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
320 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3097.273
Subtracting 252 from 320 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
680 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3097.2738
Deduct 672 from 680 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
84 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3097.2738
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
800 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3097.273809
If we take 756 away from 800, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 84, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3097.2738095
Deduct 420 from 440 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
200 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3097.27380952
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 3097.27380952 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
